If Hillen can't play tomorrow either, they will in all likelihood need a 36th to finish the season.

Doonbosch just finished playing for the Kitchener Rangers, where he was a teammate of Gabriel Landeskog. Landeskog is considered one of the toop prospects for this year's entry draft. For the Isles to get their hands on him, they will need some luck with the ping pong balls on Tuesday.

Doornbosch had 19 goals and 29 assists for Kitchener this season. His 19 goal ranked him tied-3rd among OHL defensemen; his 48 points tied him for 7th among defensemen with Isles prospect Calvin deHaan.
